The Jazz star shared his heartfelt excitement on social media, congratulating Abbie with a warm message. He recognized the hard work and faith that led her to this incredible moment and couldn’t help but post a video capturing his joyous reaction to her victory.

“Congratulations Abbie! I am so proud of you and everything you stand for. Your hard work and trust in the Lord has awarded you with this incredible opportunity! Use your light to shine on others around you! Love you ❤️” Kessler wrote on Instagram.

Abbie’s win is especially significant, as she becomes the fourth Miss Alabama to earn the prestigious title, and Walker’s support adds an extra layer of warmth to this milestone in her life.

Abbie, who is juggling her studies as a nursing student and her passion for cheerleading, was equally thrilled and grateful for Walker’s support. In her comment on his post, she also acknowledged how meaningful it was for her to have him by her side during such an important moment.

“Walker🥹🥹! I love you❤️ you showing up last night meant the world to me. I’m so thankful for this life journey we get to go on together,” Abbie commented on the same post.

Walker Kessler And His Relationship With Abbie Stockard Is Getting Attention

Other than some curious Kessler fans, his relationship with the now Miss America Abbie Stockard was a mystery. Now that Stockard has officially been crowned, the couple is creating quite a buzz.

The 22-year-old nursing student from Auburn University is currently dating the starting center for the Utah Jazz Walker Kessler. It seems like a match made in heaven, especially since both share a love for sports and even a birthday! Abbie is not your typical beauty queen. She’s juggling her pageant duties while still hitting the books and cheering for her school.

Walker Kessler has an impressive story of his own. After shining in college basketball at North Carolina, he transitioned to Auburn, where he really made a name for himself before being drafted by the Memphis Grizzlies and then traded to the Jazz. With both of them excelling in their respective fields, Abbie’s new title as Miss America adds to her already remarkable resume.

Warriors’ Draymond Green Gets Honest On His Heated Exchange With Pistons’ Ron Holland, Commends Officials For Not Calling A Tech Foul

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green is known as one of the most aggressive players in NBA history. Throughout his career, he has been involved in numerous on-court altercations. One notable incident occurred during a recent game against the Detroit Pistons.

During the fourth quarter of an intense game against the Pistons, Dennis Schroder dove into the stands to save a ball that had gone out of bounds. In the process, he accidentally collided with a courtside fan. Following this incident, the officials began checking on the person seated at the courtside.

Meanwhile, heated exchanges took place between Green and Ron Holland. However, the referee decided to let the argument continue without issuing any penalties. In the post-game interview, Green reflected on the incident.

“I thought the officials did a good job. They let it play all day,” Green said after the game. “They let guys talk, they didn’t break it up. Guys started talking again, and they let them play out some more. Beautiful. This game should be better. We’re playing this league now. They probably… you get turned into a robot. You don’t see any of that stuff, and then everyone says the ratings are down. Yeah, of course. No s**t.” Green said.

Green scored just 7 points, along with four assists and five rebounds, in 32 minutes of play. The Warriors won the game against the Pistons with a final score of 107-104.
